Oct. 19: JPX Celebrates 40 Years of Japanese Government Bond Futures
On October 19, 2025, Japan Exchange Group, Inc. (JPX) celebrated the 40th anniversary of its Japanese Government Bond (JGB) Futures market.
10-year JGB Futures, which were Japan’s first financial futures product, have been traded by a large number of investors both in Japan and abroad. They were originally listed on Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) on October 19, 1985 and were transferred to Osaka Exchange (OSE) in March 2014.
During that time, TSE (and later OSE) has strived to diversify its product line-up and implemented various institutional reforms. In addition, the trading volumes of JGB futures and interest rate futures have been increasing recently as investors have reaffirmed the importance of these products in light of such factors as changes in interest rates.
JPX remains committed to making the derivatives market more convenient and contributing to the development of Japan’s financial markets.

Osaka Exchange, Inc.

Mr. Matsuhashi Yoshinori (a pseudonym), who was the first to submit an entry with the winning nicknames out of the 831 entries collected in the public call for suggestions, was selected to be the official namer.
The announcement ceremony was attended by the Japan Commodity Futures Industry Association (JCFIA) chairperson and other distinguished guests, and the official namer was awarded a certificate of recognition and a half-ounce gold coin. OSE hopes that the products will live up to the spirit of the word “Pocket” and that a wide range of investors will take to them and grow to love them.

Oct. 29: Announcement of Earnings for Q2 FY2025
Japan Exchange Group, Inc. has announced its earnings for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Operating revenue increased by JPY 7.5 billion (+9.2%) to JPY 89.3 billion, mainly due to a year-on-year increase in cash equity trading value that resulted in an increase in trading and clearing services revenue linked to market conditions, and an increase in revenue from deposited collateral assets related to interest rate swap transactions.
Meanwhile, operating expenses increased by JPY 3.8 billion (+11.1%) year on year to JPY 38.9 billion. This was largely because of an increase in the amount returned to clearing participants for deposited collateral assets related to interest rate swap transactions, as well as an increase in operation expenses for arrowhead 4.0 and other systems.
As a result, operating income increased by JPY 3.5 billion (+7.5%) year on year to JPY 51.2 billion, and net income (attributable to owners of the parent company) increased by JPY 2.2 billion (+6.9%) year on year to JPY 34.5 billion.
